Maybe the E marks have standards, after all...Craig_MiamiFL said:All their shlt is piped in. Not a single ####lng regular is over. They've successfully made their brand the only thing that matters. Congrats?
Seth Rollins and the Bellas were always the funniest to me. You'd think the place was going nuts as they come out. Yet you never see a single person clapping/yelling/celebrating.
I said this somewhere else and was gonna post it that they'd blame low "Mania attendance on the virus. In part that could be true but like he said attendance was already going down. Disappointed he doesn't address the cancelation though as a whole. In terms what would make them cancel Mania plus other shows.
Indy wrestler Lady Frost was cancelled from an upcoming booking in IIRC Maine. The promoter stated that out-of-state wrestlers were not invited. Now she's lost a two-day booking the weekend after this coming one. Presumably, this would include her husband The Savage Gentleman as well. IMO, that's just ridiculous and WAY beyond the pale and totally out of proportion.
There's great stuff out there among all companies. WWE has the reach. AEW is the best curator of content for most American fans imo. NJPW's tournaments and big shows are incredibly compelling. Plenty of other shows out there for everyone, lots of options to spend one's time.
Helps when WWE has the same storylines and rehashes the shame matches over and over again. I don't mind bringing a legend in here and there to help put some rub on a guy or bury someone who was out of line but they are over doing it with it. Why waste over 100hrs to maybe be entertained for less then an 4 hrs (NXT and UK really only thing worth watching) when you can spend 3xs less watching a better newer product and with newer wrestlers fans have never seen or heard of before? How many people outside of ROH or NJPW knew who the Elite were or Even Best Friends or SCU? How many until the past few months knew Luke Perry's Son was a wrestler (I didn't)? How many people in WWE knew the real Jon Moxley (I refuse to use that corny name The E gave him)? Seeing Moxley back in CZW form is amazing for me mostly because I've been watching this guy since he got there. I was real excited when WWE got him but really disappointed at the end results. He was a joke in WWEhagmania said:
Vince may think he has grapefruits; your major American cities have bowling balls and they will swing them.
I won't be surprised either way. I will say if Vince doesn't do the right thing well I can see the government forcing its hand on the issue.
Yeah he got that from Ryan Satin's report from WWE Backstage. Not some insider source but give it to SRS again for copying someone else work well done sir
YA BOY always on top of things.
probably should research some things first. Satin reported this on backstage before SRS tweeted this. But leave it to SRS to steal peoples work and also steal their work and put it behind a pay wall where others don't
My favorite wrestling journalist. Did Bill Apter proud.
His whole mirror thing at first was interesting but yeah. Mojo doesn't do much for me. I feel like he'd have been a perfect character in The Atttitude ERA character wise. The party guy who acts like an absolute ######## and hits on the divas would've worked back then. Not saying he'd be a star but I feel his character would've worked better then
I subscribed to his/Fightful's patreon based on your recommendation . Good stuff.

You have to wonder if WM gets cancelled what effect that has on ancillary events and cards held around that time. I could see these shows either cancelling or going forward and doing gangbusters as money that would've gone for parking, food, T-shirts, etc. now goes into the hands of indy promoters. Wouldn't that grind Vince's gears?
Meanwhile you had the wide sweeping shot from the skycam of literally the entire crowd jumping to their feet when Mox pinned Jericho at Revolution.All their shlt is piped in. Not a single ####lng regular is over. They've successfully made their brand the only thing that matters. Congrats?

And now the dude steals Satins report he reported on a WWE show on TV. This guy is a dam riot.
You can find a lot of that info for free elsewhere, its not stolen and by better human beings. I know someone who use to work for them and they basically fired him after he missed some major time during mania season a few yrs ago. Had a note and everything and told him sorry. Thought about lawyering up and taking them to court but unfortunately the lawyer who looked over the case said he didn't have enough substantial evidence and advised him not to pursue a case. That and he was already in debt with hospital bills for his kid. He said he was good friends with SRS but even after telling SRS about his son who he knew about had health issue the dude basically blew him off and acted like he never knew him.
That Will Osprey fellow is one lucky SOB dammit. I'm so jealous of this guy already and then he one ups everyone on the relationship front
Yeah that would be awesome but guess what? If you are anywhere in Europe besides the UK planning to come to Tampa for the Event you are SOL because there is now a 30 day travel ban from the US to all of Europe besides the UK. This might really put a kink in Mania plans. I'm wondering if they don't cancel it maybe the move Mania back a week or so? I just found out WWE is suppose to have a Takeover in Dublin, Ireland at the end of the month so not sure what happens there. Kind of hard to push everything back with arenas booked. I guess it depends what happens with the NBA/NHL seasons if they move forward eventually or not.Wrestlemania is on for now.

Glad you enjoy. Been a longtime subscriber and worth every penny.
That's the key here. SF banned all gatherings of IIRC 500 people. If Tampa does the same thing, it's game over. Maybe Vince can have WM at the Performance Center too.
As SRS previously reported via his premium subscription insider service earlier this week and now subsequently confirmed by WWE, this week's Smackdown will be broadcast from the performance center.
Brian Shepard is reporting that NWA's Crockett Cup has sold about 1000 tickets for a 5000 seat arena. Lagana and Corrigan haven't commented on this to my knowledge.
Unfortunate timing for them. First time they've ventured out of their studio and easily could have had their audience or even empty crowd show there. I'd guess it holds 250-500 people.
Doesn't fit their product at all. And their audience doesn't give 2 shlts about the guy. We saw him in the 2000's as "Jamie Noble". Wasn't a draw then. Not a draw now.
